The Blue Hose are a Football Championship Subdivision team that went 2-9 in the Big South Conference last season. Presbyterian College has 1,200 students, but Crumpacker points out that it at least has a baseball team, which is more than Cal can say.

For the record, Blue Hose refers to a “fierce Scottish warrior” who wears blue socks under his kilt.

Cal will also play Colorado on Sept. 10, but it won’t count as a Pac-12 game. The Buffaloes, along with Utah, will switch to the Pac-12 Conference next season, but their home-and-home series with the Golden Bears was already set.
